Game overview
smash the insectt is a clicker with one job: hit the ants before they get away, and see how high a score you can post. Nothing about it is complicated, and that is the point, because the whole game fits in the seconds between other things. A leaderboard gives the score somewhere to go, which is what stops it being purely idle tapping.
This title is best suited to players who want a sixty-second reaction clicker.
